exhale.
feel your chest rise
then fall.
the world goes on.
it does not disappear when
you
close your eyes.
you are not responsible for
everybody
or their feelings
or their futures
or their hurt
do not
blame yourself
secretly
for the actions of others
remember to
love yourself first
and make it your mantra
to know what
you need
as well as others.
begin each day
with love
in your heart
and a head full of
possibilities
because they’re so great
and you are
so
great
power runs through you
like electricity
but too high a current
blows
the fuse.
exhale.
start again.
and this time
remember to
love
yourself first.
